Visuals contest organized for DR participation in Expo Milano 2015

The organizer of the Dominican representation at the leading world exhibition Expo Milano 2015 is inviting Dominican visual artists to help create the visuals for the Dominican stand in Milan. Expo Milano will take place from 1 May to 31 October 2015 in Milan, Italy. More than 24 million visitors from all around the world, or on average 130,000 people are expected.

The DR participation is coordinated by Mario Arvelo Caamano, who is the Dominican ambassador before the United Nations agencies in Rome and General Commissioner for the Expo Milano 2015.

The “DR From My Lens” contest is open to professional and amateur photographers who need to submit their material by 28 February 2015. The material will help identify the Dominican country-brand. The theme chosen by the country is the rural development model promoted by President Danilo Medina through his surprise visits to support small rural community groups.
